  Imbed a call to PeekMessage in your processing loop.  Windows will reschedule,
allowing other apps to run, or if no other app wishes to run, return control
to your program immediately.  Alternatively you can issue a call to Yield()
or GetMessage.  PeekMessage is the call of my choice though; it reschedules 
without forcing you to remove the message from the queue and deal with it.
